Local electron structure and magnetization in β- Fe86Mn13C

To explain the magnetization origin of the sample consisting of austenite grains and intergranular layers, which have Frank-Kasper's structure (FK12+FK14) typical of β-Fe-Mn, the local electronic structure has been investigated for intergranular layers. The local electron structure of FK12 and FK14 clusters have been simulated by method of self-consistent field to understand the nature of non-zero magnetization of the Fe87Mn13 alloy exposed by shock deformation. It was shown, that numbers of states with upward and downward spins are not equal. Therefore the occurrence of magnetization is possible.
